"Speaking of which, Hope Village really is a special place. Undead, Beastn, goblins, Dwarves—so many races living here, and they’re all getting along quite well. Now even the Dragon Clan has shown up; that’s an achievent in itself," Viscount Chaplin said with a sense of emotion.
Viscount Keynes paused, reflecting on how this multiracial coexistence within a territory was possible because Hope Village, regardless of race, offered fair treatnt to all its mbers.
They would have liked such a territory, even if they were not the rulers.
On this point, they could not be exactly like Hope Village, but they really wanted to see to what extent Hope Village, following this path, could go.
At that mont, mbers of the other races ntioned by Viscount Keynes had also learned of the Dragon Clan’s arrival in Hope Village, and their first thought was one of worry.
Beastman District.
"How is it? Everything alright? Is there going to be a fight? If you need help, I’m on my way to assist," O’Neill’s father, the old Tiger-man Fork, upon seeing the dragon head in the territory, was quite anxious and seed ready to rush to Hope Village to join the fray.
"No, no, everything’s fine. Master Lucas asked to let everyone know the Dragon Clan mber was invited by the village chief. We’re just waiting for the village chief to co back. There’s no danger to the territory, so no need to worry," a Kobold soldier quickly explained.
Seeing everyone fully equipped and ready for combat, he marveled even more at Master Lucas’s foresight.
"That’s good, you can go back! Do we look like the type to cause trouble?" Fork said, casting a sidelong glance at the ssenger.
The Kobold soldier didn’t say much more, quickly departing.
After he left, Fork hastily passed on the news to others.
"That was a false alarm!"
"It’s good that the territory is safe."
"..."
The other old Beastn breathed a sigh of relief.
After coming to Hope Village, their lives beca much more comfortable than before. If it were the past, they probably would have left the territory and t their end voluntarily to avoid burdening their descendants!
Not only them, but their descendants were living even better lives. Their children had mostly joined the soldier team, drawing generous wages, and their ranks were continuously rising. As for the younger ones, they could attend school and be nurtured from a young age.
How wonderful life was.
They certainly wouldn’t want anyone to co and disrupt that!
Thank you, Hope Village.
Fork looked at the single-minded loyalty these people now had for Hope Village and laughed heartily, "You should thank my son O’Neill more. You were worried when he first told you!"
"We were just speaking from past experiences! Who could’ve imagined such a Human territory."
"Anyway, it’s best that Hope Village is fine for now. If Hope Village ever finds itself in trouble, we old bones can’t shy away."
"Of course."
"Ptui, ptui, ptui, Hope Village won’t have any trouble," Fork suddenly thought of sothing and quickly engaged in so "verbal magic."
Seeing this, the other old Beastn’s expressions turned mirthful.
Blacksmith Shop.
Harrison, too, was a bit worried when he received the news and even prepared to start forging weapons, but once he heard that nothing was wrong, he relaxed and walked into the Advanced Workshop.
At that mont in the Advanced Workshop, each goblin was more energetic than the next, their hands moving faster and faster.
Seeing Harrison co in, one of the goblins quickly inquired, "So, how many arrows do you need?"
"It’s not an invasion by outside forces," Harrison hastily replied.
"Whew!" With those words, a collective sigh of relief echoed through the room.
However, it was only a brief pause, and the goblins continued with their work as if nothing had happened.
Even if this hadn’t occurred, they would have needed to work overti to prepare for the next Territory War and the surge of beasts after the territory’s promotion.
The territory never fought unprepared battles; since they had planned for the future path, they naturally had to prepare for combat.
Shields, arrows, various kinds of attack and defense weapons—they needed to produce more of each.
Ti was running out for them; the more they worked now, the more backbone the territory would have later.
Watching these diligent goblins, Harrison’s eyes held a hint of emotion.
Once, he looked down upon Humans and even more so upon goblins.
But after being in Hope Village for a while, his perceptions began to change.
Humans were not so weak, and goblins were not so useless.
The forr was due to oppositional stances, and the latter was because he had never regarded a race without their own civilization and land.
Especially the latter, who would have thought that in addition to their talent for mining, goblins were so skilled at weapon crafting!
Their craftsmanship improved from rudintary beginnings to a pace where each weapon beca more precise.
Moreover, so goblins even suddenly displayed talent for research and developnt, enhancing weapons with various ores for rapid functional advancents.
He brought his thoughts back and didn’t disturb the busy group of goblins; Harrison headed toward the Military Factory next to the Advanced Workshop.
Since he was there, he might as well take a look around; the territory had recently hired several weapon experts capable of creating high-damage output equipnt, and he was curious to see what they could co up with.
As for the Dragon Clan, he had seen them before and was not interested.
anwhile, as Philaya caused ripples throughout the territory, Zhou Bai and Ding Qiurou returned to Hope Village from Kellyville Village.
As soon as they appeared at the Task Center, a figure approached them.
"Dad, are you here to wait for us?" Zhou Bai looked at Zhou Zhengping sowhat surprised.
She rembered her father had tasks today, right?
Zhou Zhengping, upon seeing the vibrant complexions of the mother and daughter, knew that they must have enjoyed their trip.
In a softened tone, he said, "It was Bayer who asked to wait for you, to inform you of sothing the mont you arrived."
"Hmm?" Zhou Bai paused, surely nothing untoward had happened to the territory in her absence?
"A dragon has co to Hope Village, and it’s now waiting for you at the city gate. It’s been waiting for quite a while," Zhou Zhengping stated directly, revealing a slight curiosity, wondering how his daughter managed to connect with the Dragon Clan.
Her ability seed quite formidable.
Zhou Bai: "..."
Philaya had arrived at Hope Village even faster than her???
Was her speed not a little too formidable?
She had miscalculated, not understanding the flight speed of the Dragon Clan.
"Let’s go!" Imdiately, Zhou Bai quickened her pace.
She was genuinely a little afraid of making the other party wait too anxiously!!!
Surely Philaya wouldn’t get too impatient if she had to wait a bit long???
